STARLIGHT listed as ThunderClan warrior: Ashfur

In this book Ashfur begins to develop a close relationship with ThunderClan apprentice Squirrelflight when she has a fight with Brambleclaw. Ashfur also receives his first apprentice, Birchpaw, which makes him a possible candidate for the new position of deputy.

SUNSET listed as ThunderClan warrior: Ashfur

This book is tragic for Ashfur, when Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw are brought together and Squirrelflight decides that they are destined to remain that way. She lets Ashfur know this, much to his devastation. He calls upon Brambleclaw's linage and mentions the death of his mother in an attempt to try and dissuade Squirrelflight, to no avail. He is obviously bitter, and lets the entire Clan know this later when (during a clan meeting) he challenges Leafpool with the idea that she has created a "sign" from StarClan to help her sister's mate (Brambleclaw) become deputy. Squirrelflight violently lunges at Ashfur, but Brambleclaw holds her back.

Ashfur continues to train Birchpaw, and is defensive of his training techniques when questioned by Brambleclaw, before leaving with his apprentice on an assessment. Firestar mentions when dying in the foxtrap that Birchpaw mentioned to him that Blackstar was on their territory, even though the apprentice was away with Ashfur - something is obviously amiss. Ashfur appears back in ThunderClan camp to get help; he has seen Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost around Firestar's body. Leafpool and Squirrelflight follow Ashfur's fear scent to the scene.

Ashfur is seen little within this book. He appears to have gotten over Squirrelflight, and is mentioned as sharing tongues with Whitewing.
